The Gardens.
'There was a part of Castle Kennedy called The Wilderness in which there were various grass walks, regularly mown, some clumps of laurels, ornamental wood and hedges. About 30 years ago the late Earl of Stair thought all this too formal, ordered most of the laurels and ornamental wood to be cut, disposed of, that part thrown open and the intersecting hedges destroyed'.
